[cura 5.0 and up have a problem with file links]

that does seem to be the same thing i'm seeing

i'll see if i can sign up on github

i think i'll have to stick with 4.13 anyway if i'm going to keep using cura

i also found that support blocker is not working in 5.*

[cura 5.0 and up have a problem with file links]

i've used cura appimages since version 3.3 on debian with no problems

it's really great

i've been using 4.13 for some time and thought it's time to upgrade

i downloaded 5.3.0 and it's works except for one thing

the directory where all of my 3d print files are located is a symbolic link in my home directory

 

~$ ls -l 3d_printer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jb2 jb2 25 Dec 28  2020 3d_printer -> /od2/data/3d_printer/

 

cura can load and save files with no problem

but the location does not get updated in the cura.cfg

 

[local_file]
dialog_save_path =
dialog_profile_path = slicing-profiles-master/SE300/Cura
dialog_load_path =

 

i worked backwards in the versions and this stopped working in version 5.0

i'm hoping this is just a setting i'm overlooking

 

[printing horizontal cylinder]

i am having trouble printing cylindrical objects with the curved side down. the support does not meet the object and allows the edges to curl up

Beautiful

Thanks

Can you think of a time when you would not use this?

Can someone help me understand, if possible, how to control the print order. Suppose you have a square flat fixture that has 3 holes. After using Cura with mostly default settings the printer would print 1 shell layer at hole 1 then move to hole 2 and print 1 layer then move to hole 3 and print 1 layer then print one layer of the parameter and start over at hole 1. Would it not be more efficient to all shell layers at each hole before moving on? Can this be controlled in Cura? If I can control it should I?
